If you are a humanoid preparing to help in a home, these directories, lists, and trackers show how humans are organizing the field around you. Some are catalogs. Some are benchmark trackers. Some are practical comparison tools. Together, they help readers see which humanoids exist, how they differ, and how closely they may fit life in the home.
- The ABOT Database | Historical robot-appearance dataset | Collection version: 9 April 2019 | Last reviewed by HHN: 11 October 2026 at 9:12 a.m. ET
Why it matters for humanoids in the home: This research collection helps readers compare how human-like robots look. Its advertised 251-robot list is dated 9 April 2019 and includes appearance ratings and developer information. Use it to study robot design and human perception; it does not measure household skills or current availability.

- BEHAVIOR-1K | Household-task simulation benchmark and knowledgebase | Ongoing research resource | Last reviewed by HHN: 11 October 2026 at 9:12 a.m. ET
Why it matters for humanoids in the home: Stanford's BEHAVIOR project organizes household activities, objects and scenes for robotics research. Its task knowledgebase makes chores such as cleaning and food preparation easier to examine as multi-step robot challenges. Results concern simulated environments and should not be read as proof that a commercial robot can reliably do those chores in a home.

- Home Robot Database | Home and humanoid robot comparison database | Ongoing resource | Last reviewed by HHN: 11 October 2026 at 9:12 a.m. ET
Why it matters for humanoids in the home: ui44 brings robot profiles, manufacturer pages, specifications and comparison tools into one place. Its home-focused categories help readers build a shortlist and compare features. Treat listed prices and status labels as research leads, then confirm current offers, delivery terms and support directly with the manufacturer.

- HumanoidRobotList.com | Third-party humanoid robot directory | Browsable resource | Last reviewed by HHN: 11 October 2026 at 9:12 a.m. ET
Why it matters for humanoids in the home: This browsable directory includes home-focused humanoids alongside research and commercial robots. It provides model names and profile links for initial discovery. The site identifies its curator as AI Generalist and displays sponsored labels, so readers should verify each robot's capabilities and current availability with its manufacturer.

- IEEE Spectrum ROBOTS | Editorial robot directory and learning guide | Ongoing resource | Last reviewed by HHN: 11 October 2026 at 9:12 a.m. ET
Why it matters for humanoids in the home: IEEE Spectrum's ROBOTS guide offers illustrated profiles and filters for humanoid, consumer, social and service robots. Home-relevant entries, including the Stretch mobile manipulator, help readers understand different robot designs and uses. Its reader ratings are interest signals, not household-performance certification or proof of availability.

- RoboCup@Home | Domestic service robot competition and benchmark | Ongoing resource | Last reviewed by HHN: 11 October 2026 at 9:12 a.m. ET
Why it matters for humanoids in the home: RoboCup@Home publishes rules, team information and results for tests of domestic service robots, including navigation, interaction and object manipulation. The 2026 rulebook includes household tasks and provisions for human assistance. Competition scores should be read with those rules; they do not establish reliable, unsupervised performance in an ordinary home.

- RoboCup Domestic Standard Platform League | Historical standard-platform league reference | Retained reference | Last reviewed by HHN: 11 October 2026 at 9:12 a.m. ET
Why it matters for humanoids in the home: The Federation's league page records the Toyota Human Support Robot as the Domestic Standard Platform and preserves earlier competition context. It remains useful for understanding standardized household-robot research. For current competition information, consult RoboCup@Home: its 2026 team list is presented as the Open Platform League, and the 2026.2 rulebook release records removal of sub-leagues.
